CorsairTC500 Luxe Gaming Chair – Premium Breathable Fabric – Wide Seat – Five-Way Adjustable Armrests – Adjustable Built-in Lumbar Support – 90-160 Degree Recline – Frost

Initially worried about the reviews I've read about the arm rests and some other things, and the price almost pushing me away from buying this chair. Finally pulling the trigger I can say with confidence they either fixed what people were talking about with the arm rests (made them closer to the chair and more adjustable) or people just expect a love seat or couch. The chair is perfect, not a single problem putting it together, I had it together in 20 mins. The chair is extremely solid and doesn't squeak at all. not only does the back of the chair recline super far like most gaming chairs, it has a separate paddle to set how far the base (place you're butt goes) reclines back to avoid having to sit back against the chair using you're weight to recline which is a massive bonus for me. some chairs require weight to recline but without being locked this chair reclines with ease. The adjustability of this chair is everything you would need. I work from home and this chair keeps me comfortable all day and all night for gaming sessions. Its a stiff chair but not too stiff, Stiff in the best way. when I first sat in it I was concerned it was going to be too stiff but after pulling 6-8 shifts for 2 weeks without standing up during, it has kept me comfortable and with 0 pain compared to my last gtp office gaming chair. after returning my Secret labs titan due to discomfort, I went from a 300$ gtp office chair to this. It has all the features you could need whether you are strict about posture, or you just wanna sit back drink a beer and watch movies or even console game its perfect. I wanted to stick to a gaming chair style but have that lumbar support and some other stuff. and I found it all in this chair. I'm 6,2 at 215-225 pounds. chair fits me perfect. I would 100% recommend trying it out if you want all the features in a gaming chair, while still keeping as much of that ergo you can with the style of chair. the pillow is actually super soft and squishy too. Its actually comfortable to use compared to other brands with really stiff pillows more for look. The chair looks leather in the mock ups, but its far from, its hard to explain, it's sort of a matte leather underarmor t shirt material. smooth and grippy but not sticky like leather. that may sound weird but in my opinion its the perfect material for a computer chair. its almost like a smoother suede material. Only negative I guess I would give them which wont effect anyone using this chair on carpet, is the wheels are pretty stiff if you dont have the weight of the chair on them. they wont freely spin if you flick the wheel with you're hand but they spin just fine. definitely not a hard floor friendly wheel, which I don't know of much other then buying roller blade computer chair wheels for commercial office spaces. all in all doesnt effect me all and the chair moves just as easily as any other on carpet. TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS IVE SEEN PEOPLE ASK ONLINE... 1. you cannot feel the diamond stitching at all on your back even after long sitting sessions. 2. the arm rests are more adjustable then secret labs and the gtp office chairs and not too far away from the chair (anymore?). 3. the price is steep until you feel the quality and durability of the materials they use, the weight and thickness of all the bolts, plastics, metals and fabrics show the quality. 4. how does it compare to secret labs? in my opinion the secret labs are super over hyped and over priced, yes they last a long time. but in my opinion they are super uncomfortable. for 150$ less then the titan, this chair takes the cake. All in all this chair is a 10/10 FOR ME. I know chairs fit everyone differently but I found the only chair I'm going to be sitting in until the tc600 or up comes out! sorry for the all over review if you made it this far, I just had all these questions when I was buying and I think this wraps up most of them. 500$ is alot for a chair but this is 500$ well spent in my book. I posted pictures I thought would best explain the chair. there is simply not enough reviews or info on this chair online yet with this model being less then a year old and being expensive I hope this helps you! cheers and good luck on you're chair hunt. p.s I am not sponsored by corsair although I wish I was, I just really like the chair :)

This chair has been the perfect fusion of functionality, comfort, and appearance for me. It is a bit firm for those looking for something soft but I personally wanted something firmer. I’d recommend buying some different wheels as the ones it comes with are a bit difficult to move around on carpet. The only other con I’d lost would be the initial smell being pretty strong after you open the package. It took a day or two to fully air out but I’m also known to be sensitive to smells. Building the chair was also the easiest chair I’ve built and it came packaged extremely well. I’d recommend for sure.

The chair is comfortable, but a little firm. The lumbar support is great in how customizable it is. I think the look of the chair is probably its best feature -- its the best looking gaming chair I have come across.The 5 stars is due to a squeaking issue that was ultimately resolved by Corsair's customer support. I purchased this chair on March 9th 2025 and after I put it together, I quickly noticed a loud squeaking coming from the right side of the chair. I opened a support request and worked with them to ultimately have it replaced.Great Chair and Great customer support!

I have had a Secret Lab chair that I have been using for work for the past 6 years and have had my share of issues with it (their warranty is a joke). When I had to return to the office and took my Secret Lab back, I needed a chair for home. I refused to pay over $500 for a new chair. I looked into this one and got it around Christmas time for $250. At that price, this chair is a phenomenal value. It is a little smaller than my Titan XL but accommodates my 6-ft 280 Lb frame without complaining. It looks awesome. The green that I have really feels like a master chief OD green. (I'd love to embroider a Chief helmet on the back). The adjustment of the lumbar is great and I was able to make it more comfortable and supportive than my Secret Lab. My only gripe is the armrests don't lock into place. While they are great for their adjustability and range of motion, they can easily move when you are adjusting or really "in the zone." That's really the reason for 4 stars because the armrests are what you interact with the most after the seat itself.
